Oldiron_79Farkage: Enemabag Jones: Callous,We need more hammer control and an assault hammer ban. Clearly an ergonomic handle and black finish means it only has one purpose.When one angry man with a hammer man murders twenty-some some primary students in five minutes let me know. I will actually be impressed, although disgusted at the same time.Yet not one person would talk about banning hammers./Blunt objects were used to murder more people in 2012 than rifles, and that included the scary 'assault weapons'Yup most firearms deaths are handguns, blunt objects cause many more deaths than rifles

I love how stats are used in this manner. How many of those blunt objects were used in an incident where more then one person was killed?

Factually you may be correct, but the intectually dishonest used create a political narrative is simply f**ked up.

While I doubt there are many incidents of someone going full columbine with a blunt object Im sure there are plenty of incidents of at least 2 people killed. Blunt objects are pretty common in spontanious fit of rage type killings like come home and see your old lady banging another man and beat both of them to death with a ball bat type stuff. Also pretty common in prisons.

I don't think of myself as such. I like conversation and will admit when I have weak points in an argument. I don't need to use BS statistical abstractions to validate my own beliefs.

You are free to believe what you want to believe, I know I can't change your mind.

Does it count as a BS statistical abstraction when the purpose was strictly to add some perspective to an enormously emotionally charged debate? I don't think it does.Anybody that thinks banning scary "assault weapons" will make a noticeable impact on the crime rate has never heard of a pareto chart.
